202 Chapter 205: A joke

Gu Ruochu and Huo Nanchen were just about to leave when they heard someone scream behind them. "Oh no! Chief Wang, the madam seems to have fainted!"

Once Xie Xuemei fainted, Wang Xin and Wang Jian panicked as well. They quickly rushed forward to support her.

In an instant, the wedding venue was in chaos.

Mother Lin's disgusted gaze swept across Xie Xuemei's body. She felt that this woman's pretentious skills were first-rate.

After all, she was a mistress. Mother Lin had seen such tragic tricks before, and only disgusting and vulgar men fell for them. According to what people said, this kind of woman would go to great lengths to get what she wanted.

However, she would not succeed on this occasion.

Lin Yufei's face was contorted. This would only embarrass her further.

She looked at the exquisite decoration of this luxurious hotel with a sense of loss. When she raised her head, she realized that Huo Nanchen had left without her knowledge.

The seductive thoughts that had been burning in her heart were completely extinguished. She was completely lost.

"..."

The air was slightly cold. Huo Nanchen led Gu Ruochu out. She subconsciously followed him without saying a word.

Huo Nanchen noticed that her long hair was almost covering her face. He lowered his head, not knowing what to think.

Gu Ruochu had something on her mind. She did not even realize when he stopped. Her entire body crashed into his back, and her nose was slightly sore from the impact.

"Why did you stop?" She covered her nose and complained softly. Huo Nanchen liked that she was throwing a tantrum.

His silent manner surprised her.

She raised her head and met his deep eyes. She instinctively averted her gaze as if she had been electrocuted.

He noticed this, and a suppressed and irritating feeling welled up in his heart. He forced her to meet his gaze. "Why are you avoiding me? What's the problem now?"

Gu Ruochu was stunned and replied indifferently, "Nothing."

"Why aren't you talking to me today."

"I always talk to you. It's just that you don't take it seriously." These words made his heart ache.

He could always detect a change in her mood, but he did not know what was the root cause of her current bad mood.

He clearly did not love her, why did he still give her gentleness and indulgence. She was just an ordinary person, she would fall in love and be greedy.

"No?"

He glanced at her and suddenly reached out to pull her into his embrace. She was stunned for a second and started to struggle, as if she was a little disgusted by his touch.

She even resisted his closeness and embrace.

"Look, you're avoiding me, do you want to continue lying to me or to yourself?" Huo Nanchen looked at her, his deep eyes were filled with emotion, and his voice was low.

"I said that you're a little liar, yet you refuse to admit it."

"Huo Nanchen, don't call me that again."

"Why not? You're my wife. Why can't I call you that?" He furrowed his brows and stared sharply at her with his eagle-like eyes.

"Then do you love me?"

Huo Nanchen pursed his thin lips and did not speak. Gu Ruochu knew that she would only embarrass herself, but she still asked anyway. Unsurprisingly, she received the answer she had expected.

Silence. Wasn't it a clear answer?

"You see, you don't love me at all." Gu Ruochu took a few steps back and shook her head as she calmly stared at him. "I'm different from you. If I don't love you, I won't try and sweet-talk you. Don't you think that this is very hypocritical? So hypocritical that it makes people feel like they can't even withstand a single blow, like an absurd joke?"

She had lived too calmly and rationally. She would rather live in the real world than convince herself to believe in a candy-like utopia.
